I'm starting a casual, multiplayer league at

+1 Gaming, 6-10pm on Sunday nights. We'll have a playtest night this Sunday, March 4, for tiebreaker points. The league starts the following Sunday, March 11, and will go through mid April. You may play different masters through the course of the league. Winner gets Le Chapeau de Malifaux, a hat that will show who's in charge. I'll post rules when they are finalized.

Le Chapeau de Malifaux

Spring 2012 Team League at +1 Gaming

Background

Malifaux is in danger. Can the Masters vying for control work together long enough to save themselves? Do they even know how? And will the general population survive to find out?

Malifaux must survive and choose a new Governor. You will need skill, power, wisdom, and diplomacy to win Le Chapeau de Malifaux.

This is a casual, six-week, team play league. Four titles and prizes will be awarded. The organizer is Allie Henson (Prime Mover), Malifaux Henchman and owner of +1 Gaming. Following the league, there will be a team tournament.

Cost

One-time $5 league entry fee, OR buy a new master.

Dates

The league will play for six Sundays, beginning March 11 and ending April 15. Official play time starts at 6pm. Please arrive at 5:30 to allow for setup time. League games must be played on league night except by organizer approval. The league will be followed by a team tournament.

Format and General Rules

Players may use different masters and crews from game to game. Team play is highly encouraged, but one-on-one games are also allowed. League points will be awarded for up to six games. Additional games will earn tiebreaker points. Prizes will be awarded only to players who have completed at least five official league games, at least three of which are team games.

For the first two weeks, proxies are allowed, and crews do not have to be painted. For the third through sixth weeks, no proxies are allowed without specific organizer approval. In the fifth and sixth weeks, at least 50% of models in each crew must also be painted. Conversions are allowed for publicly released models, subject to organizer approval.

When league time ends, the round will be played out and victory points scored. No league points for winning will be awarded if the game is not completed.

Team Games

A team game is played by two players vs. two players with shared team strategies, predetermined by the organizer. Individual/crew schemes will be selected by each player. Teams will be assigned randomly if possible. A team’s set of masters must be brawl compatible (see table).

Each player has his/her own soulstone cache and fate deck. A player may shift up to two of his/her own soulstone pool to his or her teammate’s pool before crews are hired.

Soulstones per player:

  • Weeks 1-3: 15ss
  • Weeks 4-6: 20ss

Team Game Initiative and Activation Sequence

  • Each round, each team will nominate one player to flip initiative for their team. That player uses his/her own control deck and soul stone pull for the flip. Only his/her models can affect their flip or their opponents flip.
  • After initiative is flipped, the winning team selects one team member to be the first player and the other player to be the third player. The opposing team then selects which player will be the second player and which player will be the fourth player. Activation then follows that sequence for the duration of the round.
  • In the event that one player is eliminated from the game, his/her teammate then gains the option to activate on either or both of the team activation phases.

One-on-One Games

Players may compete with 30 soulstones each or agree on a soulstone value between 25 and 40. Games will use the same predetermined strategies as the team games for that week.

Handicaps

Previous Governors of Malifaux take a penalty of 1ss on their first game.

Previous Lanterns Rouge receive a bonus of 1ss on their first game.

Previous Master Artisans’ professional pride prevents them from competing for this recognition again.

Previous Ambassadors of Malifaux are too humble to accept this honor again.

  • Planning day March 4 (tiebreaker points)
  • Playing a team game

Prizes
